Reading our &#39;talking back and forth&#39; on the comments there brings back a night in January (01.22.10, a palindrome!) as if it were still yesterday -- but completely clear here now w/ sun coming up through the leaves. . . .STEPHEN RATCLIFFEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12339481653546188412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-71737229121518789542010-03-11T01:25:12.938-08:002010-03-11T01:25:12.938-08:00Steve,

Well, both Witt...&quot;the picture IS a fact&quot;<br /><br />Well, both Wittgenstein and I are perhaps taking something for granted in that regard. Still there are certain enduring propositions the subscription to which continues to generate at least a smidgeon of pleasure. <br /><br />In any case, thank you very much, Steve. BTW I thought of you, with that lower image. Standing bemused and becalmed before the brackish salt lake, board under one arm, Heidegger under the other!<br /><br />(The baobab treetop fingers in the upper image made me think of Triffids... thus, &quot;Feelers&quot;. Bit of the old ekphrasis, when in doubt.)<br /><br />Unbelievably the sun appears to have come out, for a moment.TChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-31158523392698363842010-03-10T08:26:03.285-08:002010-03-10T08:26:03.285-08:00Dear Tom,
